I came back last Tuesday from a trip to the ski areas of the lakes region of Southern Argentina. It was stormy, snowy, deep powder in the trees. These two pictures show just a bit of the old and newer volcanos, spiky ridges,long glacial lakes, and forests of beautiful Patagonian species. The mountains are not huge, with peaks rising to 2000-2500m, but the intricacy of the landscape, the variety of the light, the almost constant presence of water views, make the area, maybe not the most imposing, but certainly the most visually exciting terrain I've ever skied. More pictures here. 6:11:55 PM
